New leaked hands-on images of the Huawei Pura The live photos confirm a striking 16:10 format and a high-quality design with a textured surface, meaning Huawei is effectively preempting Samsung and Apple with this new form factor. The device has to do without Google Play Services and instead relies on HarmonyOS.
Leaked hands-on images of the Huawei Pura
While official renders have already shown the design, these live photos look much more exciting because they show a working device that, thanks to the wider 16:10 format, closes the gap between a smartphone and a tablet even better.
In other words: The “wider foldable” looks more real than ever before, because it is now. By bringing this form factor to market, Huawei has officially overtaken Samsung and Apple in the race to define the “wide foldable” trend.
This move is intended to strengthen Huawei’s leading position in the foldable segment and builds on the foundation laid by the foldable Pura X. Despite the strong hardware, the US sanctions against Huawei remain a major obstacle.
The Huawei Pura X Max will run HarmonyOS without Google Play Services. A global launch is still not confirmed, the first market launch will initially take place exclusively in China. Interested parties outside of China will therefore have to wait for further details after the debut on April 20th.
Martin is a professional smartphone nerd since he got his first “real” smartphone, the Galaxy Young. Although Martin is getting older, his enthusiasm and analytical eye for a phone spec sheet is holding up nicely. AI has already stolen several of Martin’s jobs. But don’t worry! He took revenge by switching back to a dumb toothbrush – the child you have to swing back and forth until your teeth are clean. Martin started writing about tech in 2021, hitting “publish” on nearly 800 feature articles in four years. Possibly a Guinness world record. Or at least a Heineken.
The technology bug infected me at a young age when I took my first steps in the PC sector back in the Pentium II era. Since then, modding, overclocking and meticulously maintaining my hardware have been a part of my life. During my time as a student, I also developed a special interest in mobile technologies, which can make stressful everyday study life much easier. After I found my love for creating web content while working in marketing, I am now an editor at Notebookcheck in search of the most exciting topics from the fascinating world of technology. Outside of the office, I have a particular passion for motorsports and mountain biking.
